🤑 Bitcoin (BTC): The price has returned to test the $88,000 area after a slight decline from the $90,000 levels, where it faces selling pressures resulting from "miner capitulation" and a decrease in the Hash Rate, putting the price in a real test phase of the current support strength.
✨ Alternative currencies (Altcoins): A slight collective decline coinciding with the drop in Bitcoin.
☑️ Updated daily market report
🗓 Tuesday, December 23, 2025
📄 In-depth market analysis
🕯 Investor sentiment: Caution has returned to the markets after Bitcoin failed to hold above the $90,000 levels. Sentiment leans towards "negative anticipation" as cash flows continue to exit ETFs.
* Total liquidity: The total market cap struggles to stay above $3T trillion, noting a decrease in daily trading volume, indicating weak buying power at high levels.
* Strength factors: The current strength lies in the "psychological support" at $87,000 and $88,000, where buy orders are trying to prevent a slide towards the $85,000 levels.
🌟 Current Bitcoin (BTC) movements
The price broke the short-term ascending channel and is now trying to hold above support areas.
* Current price: trading at $88,066 (approximately 1.01% decrease over the past 24 hours).
* Current status: The price has lost the upward momentum seen yesterday; staying below $88,200 may open the door for further technical declines to retest lower liquidity areas.
🕯 Fear and Greed Index
* Current position: 29 points.
* Significance: A slight improvement of 25 points from yesterday, but it remains in the "fear" zone. This slight rise in the index despite the price drop reflects some long-term investors' resilience, but the value still indicates a lack of overall confidence.
🌟 Executive summary: Assessment of the current movement
The market is facing dual pressure from miner sales (due to declining profitability) and rapid profit-taking by speculators.
* Trading results: The "bulls" failed to turn the $89,500 level into solid support, putting the advantage back to the "bears" who are now targeting a break of the previous weekly closing levels.
* Technical impact: The decline in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates room for further correction unless strong institutional buyers emerge to push the price above $89,200.
🌟 Upcoming forecasts:
* Optimistic trajectory: A quick return above $88,500 and stability there may provide a chance to visit $90,000 again before the end of the year.
* Bearish trajectory: Breaking the $87,500 area with a 4-hour candle close will likely lead to a swift drop towards $85,000 and possibly $84,000.
🚨 The most important decision: "It is highly recommended to activate a strict stop-loss at $87,000. Given the declining hash rate and selling pressure, maintaining cash (USDT) for buyers may be the most successful strategy in the remaining days of the year."
